That's a great idea but as you know with BOYD you are opening yourself to a lot of Malware/Virus as well as Ransom Ware. You also have the possibility of Disgruntled Employee backlash resulting in possible inside attacks. Cloud computing would be a better option with better Security Protocols. Better control over who accesses the Company System and able to Monitor what they are doing.
- Hi,
Yes but if the segregation of the desktops is properly done, virus should not be able to go form one to another. A little like with have containers and today I haven't heard about a virus able to go from one container to another... Cloud computing doesn't provide much savings on resources consumption and require constant internet consumption, huge data usage, not eco friendly either. Today lot of companies accept BYOD on mobile phones using Work spaces, and accept the small risk of virus able to go through the OS barrier , they should be able to do so on desktop computers 🙂 Don't see how any solution can manage disgruntled employee backslash out of being able to remove all access easily, and you can remove access from any desktop today locking the account.
